steady diet here that must strike all for
eigners as most remarkable. The habit
which too many Americans have Of masti-
eating toothpicks is very disagreeable.
Eve seen Bostonians leave the dinner
table holding toothpicks between their
teeth. Pye seen them in the parlor talk
ing to ladies, and Eve seen them walking
in the street, still with bit of quill or
wood in their mouth. These same persons
would scorn to pick their teeth at the
table When a silver of meat happens to
lodge between two incissors, it must be got
rid of. So up go both hands or handker-
chief as shield, and then with clever
finger work, the silver is removed This
operation looks very much as if the person
was taking out his or her false teeth under
cover. Except for the rattling of dishes,
YOU would not hear enough noise in a pub

Gen. Grant on the Terms at yicxsburg.

zen. Grant on the Terms at Sicksburg.
In the August Century is printed for the
first time letter by General Grant on the
above topic, from which the following is an
extract:
General Pemberton, being a Northern
man commanding Southern army, was
not at the same liberty TO surrender an
army that man of Southern birth would
be. In adversely or defeat he became an
object of suspicion, and felt it, Bowen
was Southern man all over, and knew the
garrison at Nicksburg had to surrender or
be captured, and knew it was best to stop
further efiilsion of blood by surrendering
lie did all he could to bring about that re-
suit. Pemberton is mistaken in several
points. 1t was Bowen that proposed that
he and 4. j. Smith should talk over the
matter of the surrender and submit their
views. Neither Pemberton nor | OBJ
Jected but We were not willing to commit
ourselves TO accepting such terms as they
might propose. In. short time those Off
GERS returned. Bowen acted as spokes-
man. What he said was substantially
this: The Confederate army was to be per-
mitted to march out with the honors of
war, carrying with them their arms, col
ors and field batteries. The National
troops were then to march i'll and occupy
the city, and retain the siege guns, small
arms not in the hands of The mon, all pub

Iected the terms at once. | did agree
however, before we separated, to write
Pemberton what terms | would give. The
correspondence is public and speaks for

ties having ceased. officers and men soon
became acquainted with the reason why.
Curiosity led officers Of rank-most all The
general officers-to visit my headquarters
with the hope of getting some news. |
talked with them very freely about the
meeting between General Pemberton and
myself, our correspondence. etc. But in
no sense was it council of war ] was

existence at that time which required
either party 10 exchange or parole all pris-
oners either at Nicllsburg or at a point ON
the James river within ten days after cap
ture or as soon thereafter as practicable.
This would have used all the transporta-
ton we had for month. The men had

very unfavorable. Frost, cold and wet

Stillman anticipates an excellent yield.
There has been some couture on Muscats.

more valuable in lots than in VINEYARDS,

In Ell Cajon, San Diego county, a crop
double that of last season is expected.
Couture did some damage, and the same
